Diego Barrera moves between Mexico City and Berlin carrying an interesting intellectual baggage. Germanic and Slavic linguistics on one side, a doctorate in theology on the other, yet in his case, none of it feels ornamental or distant. It seeps into the work in a way that’s almost structural, as […]
Sou Noaki photographs beauty on his own terms. He grew up in a rural town with a clear view of Mount Fuji, the kind of place that usually ends up romanticized. But that’s not what stayed with him. “My town isn’t all beautiful,” he says. “If you go towards the […]
“The Waiting”, an exclusive photographic series by Marc T., is an exploration of suspended time, an intimate study of what exists in the quiet spaces between action and resolution. Rooted in themes of absence, solitude, and emotional distance, the work reflects the psychological weight of waiting, where stillness becomes both […]
Some bands evolve. Others dissolve and rebuild themselves entirely. Corlyx feels like the latter, a project shaped as much by movement as by sound, drifting between Los Angeles, the UK, Italy, and beyond, absorbing fragments of each place along the way. What emerges is a dark, seductive universe where goth, […]

Deceits feels like a band you experience before you fully understand. There’s a kind of raw clarity in what they do: direct, intense, and very present. Their sound carries both movement and emotion, pulling from different places without losing its core. In this conversation, Kevin “Pups” Moreno (vocals / instruments) […]
There’s something quietly compelling about the way Antony Szmierek arrived in music, not through ambition, but through observation, writing, and a moment of stillness that pushed everything forward. What began as poetry, scribbled over time, slowly found its way into sound during a period when the world itself felt suspended. […]
Qingshan Liu is a China-based photographer whose work moves between intimacy and tension, instinct and observation. His images focus on contemporary youth, not as a defined generation, but as individuals navigating emotional extremes, desire, anxiety, closeness, and distance. His latest body of work, brought together in “The Heat of the […]
There’s something different about this issue. Not just in the way it looks, although it does look sharper, more layered, and intentional, but in how it moves. Issue #8 feels like a space where different practices collide: music, visual art, digital experimentation, and everything in between. CVLTARTES Issue #8 brings […]
